ECT Totton Linnet has a lot of opinions.

[oatmeal]

That is a lie.

"I am thankful for all those who pointed out scripture to me, even if they thought it disproved verses I already believed."

That is a lie. We have you on record as saying that as a young Catholic you decided for yourself that Christ was not God....

From the point of deciding that Christ was not God you set out to find scholars and linguists and commentators to back up your new found unbelief. And you found them, it is their doctrines which you promulgate on TOL...on the ECT board

That is correct, as a second or third grader in an RCC parochial school, I concluded that Jesus Christ is not God based on I Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

God is God,

men are men

the one mediator between God and men is who?

a. God the son

b. God

c. the second person of the trinity

d. the man Christ Jesus

when you decide to believe scripture, you will select "d", without any "ifs, ands or buts"

Christ Jesus is a man, not God.

Until then, you and your buddies remain in a state of confusion about who God is and who His son is.

Maybe you do not yet understand the word "son" as in male offspring.

Or you do not understand the meaning of "theos, and elohim" and "man"

If you prefer tradition over scripture, that is your choice.

We know He was a man dimwit

In the beginning He was with God and He was God.

Again you provide opinion without a shred of reference to scripture.

You provide no reason for me to believe you.

Why not?

Because scripture does not support your position

John 5:39 you think you have eternal life?

why? what is your proof?

in the beginning was The Word
And the word was WITH GOD and The Word WAS GOD

also see Colossians ch 1

Jesus CREATED EVERYTHING

 

[Anto9us]

Col 1:14

In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Col 1:15

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:


Col 1:16

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:



Col 1:17

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.


Col 1:18

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.


Col 1:19

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;



Col 1:20

And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

 

[oatmeal]

I know what I do...and I know what you do, and I know what you say you can do but do not do.

This is just what led me to look more closely at The Way International...it is what you post too...all in words only...no unction, no power, no life, no Holy Ghost.

Too bad you have no evidence, scriptural or otherwise, to support your assertions.

You remind me of Jude 12, a cloud without water, a tree without fruit.

So, who is the image of God?

or rather who are those created in the image of God?

Genesis 1:27

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

So who besides Adam and Eve are created in the image of God?

So what is an image?

You need to know that that power was given by His Father.

Jesus says He cannot do anything on His own. You need to read the Bible, brother.

It seems that you are just following what you are passed down by your church.

No.

If Jesus is not of the creation then the atonement is void.

Jesus inherits from His Father who Jesus said is greater than he and is Spirit, not a man.

1Co 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

[Anto9us]

It is a basic understanding by orthodox (with a lower-case "o") Christians

that Christ has a DUAL NATURE

He is 'very God' and 'very Man'

if you do not accept this -- I do not say

yew aint a Christian

I do not say

you are unregenerate

I just say

"Yew a Hairy-Tick"

Why is it that you can make such statements as if you could provide evidence from scripture, but fail to provide such evidence?

Reason: there is no evidence in scripture.

that Christ has a DUAL NATURE

He is 'very God' and 'very Man'

where do you find such statements in scripture?
